Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had such a great stay at this hotel. It’s very modern, beautifully designed, and everything felt fresh and comfortable. We booked two rooms, one for us and one for the kids, which made the stay so easy and relaxed. The rooms were spacious, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was excellent and fully equipped. The size of everything was just right, nothing felt cramped. The view over the town was absolutely stunning, especially from the pool area. The pool was warm, clean, and honestly the view from there was amazing. Overall, everything about our stay was fantastic, we’d definitely come back.”
“Great location - right in town and close to all restaurants and grocers. Loved the infinity pool here - amazing views of the town. Room had everything we needed and replenishments were not an issue. Couch was not comfortable. Staff were amazingly helpful and very friendly. We unfortunately dropped our keys down the elevator shaft and they were able to call someone in immediately to retrieve them for us. Would recommend and stay again.”
